Melissa- Found out that the camera broke at the wedding. We brought it back with us but according to hubby and his Best Man, the camera broke while putting in new film...sorry!

Hi there! I did the polaroid camera with the guest book. My guests thought it was the coolest thing ever. I might be able to sell the polaroid camera...let me check with hubby!

Yes it was rainy the first two days but that was remnants of that hurricane in cuba. The sun was shining on the day of the ceremony. I think it was about 75 to 80 degrees the whole time. Not too hot not too cold. If you get chilly easily, might want to bring some light sweaters or light pants/slacks just in case.

I brought Landy a bottle of wine and gave her $50, The lady who did my hair, nails, and makeup...gave her 200 pesos (about $17). We did not tip the photographer and I do not regret it.

Celina...so happy for you! I can't wait to see your pics! Yay for getting married!

Pepto Tulle Bags and Veil- SOLD

Hi! I had my wedding on 10/27. The original time for the ceremony was 4:30 but the time had changed the day before. I changed the ceremony to 4pm. The sun was shining for the ceremony but went away shortly after. However, it was cloudy that day so maybe it was just the clouds. I think the sun ended up fading away at around 5:30 or 5:45. Here are some pictures...if this helps! Picasa Web Albums - Carina - 2008-11-02 Pr... Picasa Web Albums - Carina - 2008-11-03

Hi Ladies, I just had my wedding at the Paradisus but got a chance to see the Secrets Maromar when we were picking up some couples for a day trip. The decor of the lobby (when I ran to the bathroom) was a more modern contemporary look. I like the more traditional look but that is just me. From what the couple staying there told me, it was beautiful but the trees had not grown very big yet. Hope this helps! By the way..the day trip was the Extreme Tulum. It was so much fun! About $96 but totally worth it! Highly recommend it!

Welcome and lucky you getting married at DT. I ended up going to the Paradisus... Lots of good info on the DT Thread...I recommend doing the Extreme Tulum Experience one day when you are there. Fun for big groups!

Sunblock and Gum sold!

Yay! You look like you were having a blast! We partied at the disco too!

Hi, We did register at two places since my coworkers kept bugging me about it. On our webpage, under the registry tab, we put a little note : Because this will be a Destination Wedding, gifts are not necessary. However, we have been getting some requests to register anyway, so we will register at a couple of stores To be honest, I don't think you should expect your guests to buy you gifts on top of already spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on your trip. That being said, you can always just put out a registry anyway (power of suggestion) and say it is for co-workers.

Hi! I had lots of stuff for the OOT planned and did not do anything. No one noticed, no one cared...and the fact that you are paying for accomodations....that is more than enough of a "Thank you". If you have time, I would say, do the little scroll notes and what not. If you don't have time, trust me, everyone will be having such a good time that they will not even think about OOT bags!

Hi Melissa, What is your email address? Quote: Originally Posted by Mel&B Thank you!

Hi Marie, The Peptos and Sunblock are from Target. And the little fushcia bags I got from Michaels. For those of you who PMed me, I will be going to Fed-Ex first thing tomorrow morning. Week from Hell at work so I did not get a chance to go during the week. I will send out emails to those who were interested after I get the shipping costs.

Hi- The Peptos and the Sunscreen were purchased at Target. For those of you who have PMed me, I will be going to Fed-Ex first thing tomorrow morning to find out shipping costs. I apologize I did not get to go during the week but my first week back at work after the wedding was pretty rough! I will send you individual emails tomorrow morning letting you know how much the shipping cost is. Thanks for looking!

Yay! Finally! I am so happy and relieved for all of you....and a little bit jealous! I can't wait to see all of your beautiful picutres (don't forget to take one on The Wall!) Have a drink for me when you get there!

Hi all! My hubby just saw this posting and just made me realize that I made a typo. The liqour bottles are $3 each, not $1. Sorry about the confusion. Tracy (from Texas), let me know if you still want them. Tracy (from Canada) yes the bags are still available. I will email you later today. Thanks!

Hi Tracy, Just sent you an email!

Also, the argument in favor of Proposition 8 is that it protects families and children. According to some conservative views, a child can best be raised by a mother and father. To create other situations is to break the family values..... Hello? Are those people ignorant and in denial? Look around, does it look like all children are raised by both the mother and father in this generation? There are so many single parents, children born out of wedlock, and children raised by extended family and I'm sure most of these kids are loved and grow up to be normal healthy adults. In case people have not noticed, divorce rates are higher than 50% so their argument to "Keep the traditional family dynamics" is complete crap! I cannot believe we are going through this! Did we not learn anything from the Civil Rights movements? ALL men and women are created equal! No person should have any rights taken away because they are "different" than others! Oh, I also don't appreciate that Obama says he is against gay marraige....I like him but I think he is bullshitting. I don't think he is against gay marraiges any more than he is against interracial marraiges....I just think he has to say that for the votes. I don't know about you but I would rather see a child living in a loving home with 2 dads then to see a child living in a broken home with a mom and dad who hate each other and fight all the time. I am sad and embarrassed for my fellow Americans who see two people who love each other and think this is wrong.

Actually, we just put it in a suitcase and checked it. Nothing happened!

Here are some more..... Playa Del Carmen Tulum ruins Japanese Restaurant Party and Josh DRUNK!
